JOSEPH BARON, OF NEWYORK, N.-Y.

. HEAT-DISTRIBUTER.

To all whom it may concern.' Y

, Be it known that I, JOSEPH BARON, a citizenof the United States,residing at New York, in lthe county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heat-Distributers,of which the..following is a specification.

This invention relates to heaters particularly for use on a gasjet, andmore especially to means for distributing the heat therefrom throughoutthe room; and the object of the same is to produce an attachment forcarrying outthis enc.

While the invention may be used with heaters of a number of forms, Ialso employ a special form of heater in this connection forming part ofthe invention.

Details arel set forth in the following specification and claims, andreference is made to the drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is a verticalsection through this complete device.

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the socalled ybell with the partition inplace.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the propeller or fan. y f

Fig. 4 is a sectional detail onpthe line 4-4 ofFig. 1. v

My invention may well be applied to an ordinary gas bracket B having theusual key K, either by slipping its burner 1 over the burner ordinarilyin place, or screwing it into the elbow 2 asv shown. Around the burneris a collar 3and above it a second and larger collar 4, andwires or.,rods 5 radiating from the lower collar through the upper are connectedat their upper ends with a dome or bell. The latter has a flat top 6 anda iarin wall provided with an annular shoulder g, beneath which it alsohas a flaring skirt 8 to which the wires are attached. The burner isindicated by the numeral 9 and I do not wish to be limited in itsconstruction. The latter depends considerably upon whether or notnatural or artificial gas is consumed, or in fact whether this fluid besomething else.

Within the bell I dispose a disk-like partition 10 perforated in a ringaround its edge as shown at 11, and beneath this partition is anasbestos disk 12 which is of such size that it exposes the perforations.The periphery of the partition bears upward against the shoulder 7 and ascrew 13 passes through a washer 14 and then through the asbestos diskand partition for holding the Specification of Letters Patent.v fPatent-,Qd Diggy 27, 1919,y Application ledOctober 26, 1918'.

parts assembled. The top 6V of the bell has a series'of perforationswhich are preferably disposed in the form of a ring as seen at 16 ratherclosely surrounding 4its center, from whicli latter rises a boss 17internally threaded so that the screw 13 may pass upward into itv asshown in Fig. 1.` The screw by preference carries a rod `18 passingupward through the'boss and rising above the same. tightened thepartition and the asbestos are held Vwithin -the bell, and the heatrising from the burner will spread outward over the asbestos and flowupward rst through the perforations 11 then collect in the space Whenthis screw isv yinserted 4and between the two flat sheets and flowinward and upward through the perforations 16.

My distributer'proper is made in the form of a propeller or fan, perhapsbest seen inL Fig. .3.11 It comprises a circular .body 20 having aconical cap 21 risingfrom its center and resting'on the tip ofthe rod18, and

the body Vis cut with a number of L-shap'ed incisions 22 radiating fromits center to rim,

wing so cut out is bent vdown `at a line 24 to produce blades orflukesas indicated at 25V in Fig. 1. Attention is invitedto the fact that thenarrow ends of these substantially'triangular blades are innermost and.they grow wider intheir bodies toward the periphery. The heated airrising'through the perforations 16 strikes the narrower Vends and flowsoutward underthe blades at the same time that it is escapingupwardthrough the propeller. The result of this rise of hot air will beto cause the propeller or fan to rotate on the pin or rod 18 as will beclear. Its rotation I find by experiment throws the heat to quite remoteparts of the room, so that the products of combustion rising from theperforations 16 do not quickly ascend to the ceiling' and Y become lost,but are utilized throughout an apartment of considerable size.

slowly upon the pin or supporting rod 18, so that the heat passes onlypartly through the propeller and considerable of it flows to remoteparts of the room.

The foregoing description and the drawings have reference to what may beconsidered the preferred or approved form of my invention. It is to beunderstood that L may make such changes in construction and arrangementand combination of parts, materials, dimensions, et cetera, as may proveeX- pedient and fall wi-thin the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent is l. In a heaterV of the classrdescribed,they combination with a source of heat, a support rising therefrom,abell having a perforated top standing above said source and adownwardly flaring skirt connected with said support and provided with ashoulder, and a perforated partition within the bell and having its edgecontacting with said shoulder; of a screw passing upward through thepartition and the top of the bell, a threaded boss engaging the upperend of the screw, and a distributer rotatably mounted above the boss.

2. In a heater of the class described, the

combination with a burnera collar around the same, a series of wiresrising from said collar, a bell having a perforated top and a shoulderaround its skirt, the latter being connected with said wires, apartition within Vthe bell having perforations out of registry withthose mentioned, a binding screw for holding the periphery of thepartition against said shoulder, and a pin rising from said screw; of adistributer rotatably mounted on said pin.

' 3. In a'heater ofthe type described, the combination with a burner, asupport rising Copies of this patent may be obtained for five centseach, byfaddressing the Washington, D. C.

therefrom, a Ibell carried by the support and having perforationsthrough its top, a partition mounted within said bell and havingcombination with a burner, a support rising 55 therefrom, a bell carriedby said support and having perforations through its top, a partitionmounted within said bell and'having perforations, an asbestos diskunderlying said partition, a washer under the disk, and a screw passingupward through the washer and disk and the top of the bell; of a boss onthe top of the -bell engaging the upper end of the screw', a pin risingfrom said screw, and a distributer rotatably mounted upon the pin abovethe perforations in the top, for the purpose set forth. v

5. In a heater of the type described, the combination with a burneradapted to be mounted on a perforated gas jet, and a se-Y ries of wiresrising and radiating therefrom, a bell having perforations in its topand a boss rising from its center and containing a threaded socket, theskirt of the bell flaring downward and containing a shoulder; of apartition plate, its periphery resting against said shoulder,` a screwpassing upward through the partition and bell and into said boss, a pinrising' from the screw,rand a dis-` tributer mounted rotatably upon thepin.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.i
